ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. Compose in 2D, stage scenes in 3D, and choose the models that fit your work. Turn prompting into *crafting* with visual tools for precise, repeatable results.

## Show, Don't Tell: Advanced Crafting Features

Artists need control over composition, character identity, and camera placement. Build the scene before you generate it. Click any preview to view it at full size.

## Quick and Easy Prompting

Start with a prompt when you want to explore an idea quickly, then use the canvas and scene tools to refine it.

| Feature | Preview |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Text to Image** Explore ideas across a wide range of image models with a text prompt. | <a href="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9cc289cd-faf4-4eaf-aed2-21134cce127c"><img src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9cc289cd-faf4-4eaf-aed2-21134cce127c" width="180" alt="Text to Image demo"></a> |

| **Canvas Image Editing** Use drawing, masks, and inpainting to guide exactly where an image changes. | <a href="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f036e08a-f3a6-417a-98ee-ec7f04b2b5ff"><img src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f036e08a-f3a6-417a-98ee-ec7f04b2b5ff" width="180" alt="Canvas Image Editing demo"></a> |
